Sounds Like Slog

Hello out there. I'm Marty Hale-Evans. This is me, and below is my blog. Maybe you'll find something of use; maybe you'll find something amusing. I hope so.

Here are the different categories of information so far. If you want to focus only on the entries pertaining to one of them, click the corresponding link below. Otherwise, you can meander through all of it bit by bit. (Pun unintended, but also undeleted.)

What are you, new?

Wouldn't you think that someone who was a professional technical writer, somebody pulling down the big bucks, would take it upon themselves, nay, even take pride in, being proficient enough in their craft to know the basics of punctuation? Wouldn't you? I mean, I'm not talking about some kind of tech-writing stunt ape (cue Katcheturian's Sabre Dance - "Look, ladies and gentlemen, he's turning out docs at an astounding rate, I've never seen anything like it!"), but an actual working professional. Why bother when there's tech editors, right? Oy.
